If I wanted a full feature set with effortless tools that trivialize everything about blogging from scheduling posts to posting from an iPhone, Wordpress is easily my favorite. The level of polish and ease that Wordpress comes with is unparalleled.

For my personal blog though, I enjoy Jekyll (via Octopress) because it's hands-on and an educational experience for someone like me that's trying to become a better developer. I learn a lot just jumping in to the source code and trying to figure things out, and it even inspires small coding projects/ideas.

exactly. The majority of my job as a freelancer is working with WordPress sites and I love it, but for my own site I just use plain HTML and CSS static files.

If you need to hammer a nail you don't use a screwdriver. The right tool is what matters.
